Charlie Sheen’s TV rating skyrocketed ever since his public media meltdown. The search for Charlie Sheen programming on TiVo more than TRIPLED between February 6 and the end of the month!
How does the public’s interest in Charlie Sheen’s 20-20 television interview size up when compared to other memorable interviews and celebrity news specials? I say Charlie comes up almost right at the very top! Winning!
Below we’ve listed TiVo’s top 10 celebrity news interviews since 2008, so you can see where Charlie beat out the late Michael Jackson, the Royal engagement, the Tiger Woods scandal and Lady Gaga’s pre-Grammy interview.
Sheen’s interview landed just below 20-20’s highest rated program on TiVo since 2008. The Sarah Palin interview in September 2008 during the heat of the ’08 Presidential campaign is the most recent high. Overall, Charlie’s interview more than doubled the 20-20 seasonal average rating.
Everyone wants to read up on controversies. What makes a celebrity interview sizzle? Is it a meltdown? Heated competition? Love or betrayal?
If you didn’t hear Charlie again made record. His mini tour was sold out in 18 minutes!
